Im Yoon-ah shared her thoughts on the "avoidance ending" of tvN's Bon Appetit, Your Majesty.
On the 15th Im Yoon-ah released a video on her YouTube channel titled "Ask Yeon Ji-young anything | Small bean cook vs red bean cook."
On that day Im Yoon-ah appeared wearing a hanbok and took time to answer various questions related to Bon Appetit, Your Majesty.
She said regarding the show's intense popularity, "Every time the ratings came out I was always so surprised and had a really good day. I'm very thankful to end with a 17% rating, and I feel proud that it will remain a good drama for many people."
Bon Appetit, Your Majesty, which ended on the 28th of last month, concluded with a happy ending in which Yeon Ji-young (Im Yoon-ah) is reunited when Lee Heon also crosses over to the present day following her. However, the process by which Lee Heon came to the present was omitted with narration saying "it's not important," leading some to jokingly call it an "avoidance ending."
Regarding this, Im Yoon-ah said, "I think I asked about this on set too. 'How did he know where Yeon Ji-young was to find her?' 'Who dressed him in the suit?' 'How could he set things up and appear all cleaned up like that?' We talked about those things, but the scene of returning to the present begins with the torn page of the Hwanseban falling to His Majesty when Ji-young later disappears into the present with Mangwoonrok, and the narration says, 'Your Majesty, don't forget your promise that you will surely find me.' Because of that one page, His Majesty came to the present together. But I think they felt it might be good not to show everything and to let viewers have some curiosity."
She added, "Many people wondered how he came to the present, and Ji-young asks about that in the scene. She says, 'But how did you find me?' and His Majesty replies, 'It's a secret.' That narration remained unchanged. 'That's not important.' Honestly, I also thought that wasn't important."
Im Yoon-ah said, "You may have felt it wasn't kind, but I think that's a part viewers can leave to their imagination. In any case, the most important part is that he meets Lee Heon in the present. I think he might have come to the present with someone's help there as well."
Asked whether she was satisfied with the ending, she drew attention by answering, "Yes, I am satisfied."
